→ scramble ingredients
01 -
4 cups (600g) cooked potatoes, chopped
02 -
2 oz (60g) ham, cut into small chunks
03 -
4 large eggs
04 -
1 cup shredded cheese, combination of Gruyere and aged cheddar
05 -
1.5 tablespoons of cooking oil or ghee
06 -
1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning, or any amount you prefer
07 -
salt and pepper, adjusted to your liking
08 -
1.5 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
→ toppings
09 -
fresh chives
10 -
sour cream
# Instructions:
01 -
Crack your eggs into a medium bowl, then whisk them together with cream or milk and Old Bay seasoning. Add a little salt and some pepper, then set the bowl aside for later.
02 -
Warm the oil in a big pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the potatoes and cook them, turning occasionally, so they get crispy on the outside.
03 -
Lower the heat and throw the ham bits into the pan with the potatoes. Pour the egg mixture evenly over everything. Gently cook on low heat, keeping the eggs soft and half-cooked for now. Sprinkle in more salt and pepper if needed.
04 -
Spread the shredded cheese over the eggs and potato mix. Cover the pan with a lid and keep cooking on low until the cheese melts and the eggs firm up.
05 -
Scoop the scramble onto plates. Add dollops of sour cream on top and sprinkle over freshly chopped chives before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Cajun or Fajita seasoning, or even Chili powder, can be swapped for Old Bay.
02 -
Swap in crispy crumbled bacon if you'd rather skip the ham.
03 -
No chives? Finely slice some scallions instead!
04 -
For added flavor, stir in sautéed bell peppers or mushrooms.
